The Vengeance Trilogy. by StevenBarberWriter

A trilogy of military hard SciFi short stories, each of which stands on its own but is linked to the earlier parts. Part 1 is my attempt at writing what a battle in space might really be like. Part 2 is - well, as a student of military history, I was struck by how some things in the military life have seemed to be constant over the centuries. Part 3 is the result of trying to imagine what an infantry fire-fight might be like in the 22nd century or beyond. How does technology play into it?

Atomic Abyss by Hobbledehoy1234

Forty years ago, the world ended at the hands of the Monarch of the Abyss, such a being spread it's accursed powers across the world and brought humanity to the brink of extinction. Even a world filled with super powers stood no chance, all hope was not lost however, a light shone brightly as the world's end drew near, slaying this fiend... for now... Even after the death of the Monarch of the Abyss the world is far from stable or safe, what remains of humanity lives inside a singular city, protected by a handful of sworn heroes, monsters lurk outside, remnants of that awful day. Forty years later a new hero appears, bearing a scarily familiar power, he'll endure many burdens in a bid to learn more about himself and those he works with in this corrupt society where heroes are revered as gods among men and all logic is replaced with propaganda. A threat from within their own walls threatens to tear humanity apart from the shadows, the heroes will need to overcome both the monsters beyond their walls and threats from their own people in order to prevail, humanity's fate will soon be at hand, will it be salvation or oblivion?

2042_POST-WW3 - GIRLS' FRONTLINE FANFICTION. by FSBOperator

In 2042_POST-WW3, the world took a darker turn after the devastation of World War III. Nations lay in ruin, and shadowy organizations vie for control over advanced technology and relics from the past. As global tensions rise, elite operatives and enhanced humans become the last line of defense in a world teetering on the edge of chaos. Amidst the desolation, remnants of military factions have merged with rogue scientists and tech-savvy mercenaries, forming clandestine groups that operate outside of governmental oversight. These factions seek not only to hoard the remnants of pre-war technology but also to exploit the advanced relics-artifacts of a bygone era that possess unfathomable power. The competition for these relics ignites a ruthless underground war, where alliances are fragile and betrayal is commonplace. As the remnants of the old world clash with the new, loyalty is tested, secrets are revealed, and the struggle for survival takes on a desperate urgency. In a landscape where hope is a flickering flame, the fate of humanity hangs in the balance, resting on the shoulders of those who are willing to confront the darkness and reclaim the future.

The Hawaiian Special Forces by WingedPanther73

This is the story I'm writing for NaNoWriMo 2015. The goal: 50,000 word RAW draft written entirely in the month of November. Unlike most of my stories, which I prefer to edit before posting, I'm actually going to post updates to this at the end of each day in chapter-sized chunks. The idea behind this story is that a terrorist attack in the near future causes the US to go hyper-isolationist, to the point that it abandons Hawaii and Alaska to fend for themselves. They do, forming the United Pacific States (maybe with a few other island countries). Hawaii then goes on to turn itself into the new world police with stealthy, genetically modified cyber-soldiers. I'm marking this story as mature because there will be action scenes, and probably some interesting perspectives on nudity and relationships. I'm not planning on anything explicit, but this won't be a kids book. Validated winner at 50,040 words!

The Detective: It's Your End by THUNkJASH

What does it feel like, when the world's fate is in your hands? When people are getting killed, continuously. Is it possible, to share those thoughts? Or you'd rather be alone? When the first shock to humanity hit them, after being so developed, it changed the world. Triggering the big associations, who stood up, to eradicate and remove the rebellion, made it doubtable if it existed. A team is appointed, with a motive so powerful, that it would surely move mountains. But it won't be easy enough, if only the trust of having someone's back, would be made. Will the team, be able, to store all the emotions, or will they break through? Will they be able to comprehend, the inextinguishable fire, against humanity? It is a race, of one's end.

Chaos 76 [COMPLETE] by nialler9298

BOOK 1 From the moment the Declaration of Independence was signed, there were people who didn't agree with it. This included a small group of politicians who called themselves Chaos. They vowed to someday take over America and start over with a utopian society where everyone would have a common goal. They slowly infiltrated the government, filling it with corrupt leaders. They planned a mass attack on the U.S. on July 2, 2076, Americas 300th birthday. On that day, they assassinated the president and began bombing in New York. Unfortunately, Chaos only had about 200 soldiers so they came up with a technology to implant a chip in the nervous system and essentially control them. So basically, each solider could make a civilian a soldier and the civilian would be forced to fight and make soldiers of their own. The whole operation snowballed and everything went according to plan. Unlike in other stories, there is no hope and the only way to survive is though the CPO (citizen protection organization), created by Benjamin Franklin. It's a system of secret subway tunnels, used to evacuate civilians to safely. Out story begins on July 2, 2076 when the first bomb drops. Madalyn Grace and her friends are caught in this apocalypse and must find away to leave.

Future Assassins by adeleece01

Want to read an action packed story about hope and tragedy? Then read this short story about how five assassins planted a seed of hope for the new world. Takes place in 2080, a time where human genes have been altered and chaos has erupted on all corners of the earth. Feel free to leave comments especially if you see a mistake. This story was written in little over a week so it's not going to be perfect. (Written a year ago for my English class) Prepare for some randomness. Inspired by Pinterest writing prompts. Cover made on Canva. (PS, it's only called 'Future Assassins' because I couldn't think of a name. If you have any ideas, I'd love to hear them.)

The Ability Era by WallflowerPerpetual

Disclaimer: There is some violence(blood and gore), and some crude language. This story is currently under hiatus. Not sure when I will continue. The story revolves around this organization called the Intergalactic Brigade Force(IBF) which is kind of like a special police made up of people with abilities(powers). The ability persons(AP's) are ranked by letter, Squad A being the best, and Z the worst. The beginning of the story focuses on Squad Y and their mission to stop an arms dealer called Red Coyote. The focus shifts away from them and shows the perspective of a plethora of characters such as a robot cowboy, a crazy mind controller, some weird prison inmates, and later shifts to a school of AP children. I think some may find it boring and maybe complicated but I hope you enjoy if you choose to read.

Glory in War: FUTURE OF THE PAST (Part 2) by Hirokatsu800

Wars are not something out of the ordinary, are they? We hear about them every day. But for the people that live them, it is more than a punishment from the gods. It is a never-ending agony which the victims have to fight in order to survive. They fight to honour the fallen ones, to protect what they cherish the most, to make their stories heard. They fight for their glory which was lost alongside the people they once knew. They fight for a better future, one without conflicts, one with the freedom they wish to have. But even so, they try to live simple lives in the end, no matter what happens in the meantime. "But can you truly call it living if you cannot sense your freedom, if you cannot wander the streets of your own city without the fear of one day being discovered and killed because of the way you are born? Because of your gift from the gods? Maybe... But it is for us to see what future planned for its people." The second part of the story "Glory in War" focuses on learning the history of a convicted race which hides underground from a city ruled by a twisted man, unable to see the light of day, nor to feel this concept of "freedom" they've built. After a few problems encountered by these beings in the first part, they decide to take a small rest from all the matters they have to face every day. Yet even so, they cannot help but remember their past and everything that has happened throughout their journey. And it won't take long before the past will catch up on them and haunt them all over again.
